White fillings – natural-looking dental restorations for Middlesbrough and Teesside.

At Marton Dental Practice, we’re committed to providing advanced, patient-centred care for every smile. For most restorative treatments, we choose white (composite) fillings – giving our patients across Middlesbrough, Teesside, and surrounding areas a healthier, more aesthetic alternative to traditional metal fillings.

White fillings

What are white (composite) fillings?

White fillings are made from a high-quality composite resin that’s colour-matched to your teeth. They are designed to repair cavities, chips, or worn areas, restoring both the strength and appearance of your tooth. Unlike older silver amalgam fillings, composite fillings are virtually invisible and blend seamlessly into your natural smile.

When might I need a filling?

Fillings are used to restore teeth affected by decay, cracks, or minor fractures. Common signs you may need a filling include:

  • Sensitivity to temperature or sweetness.
  • Pain or discomfort when biting or chewing.
  • Visible holes or dark spots on a tooth.

Sometimes, early signs of decay are only picked up during a dental check-up. That’s why we recommend regular examinations to help catch problems early, before they become more serious.

Why we recommend white fillings

At Marton Dental Practice, white fillings are our standard choice for most patients. They are:

  • Discreet and natural-looking.
  • Durable and long-lasting with proper care.
  • Minimally invasive, preserving more of your healthy tooth.
  • Mercury-free.

If you have existing metal (amalgam) fillings and would prefer a more natural look, we also offer a safe amalgam removal and replacement service. Many patients choose to update their smile with tooth-coloured fillings for a more confident appearance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I look after my fillings?

Caring for a white filling is just like caring for your natural teeth: brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss regularly, and keep up with your routine dental visits. With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, your filling can last for many years.

What are the costs of new fillings?

We believe in clear, honest pricing:

  • Dental Examination: £55.
  • Tooth-Coloured Fillings: From £99.

Step 1

The white filling process

Getting a white filling is a straightforward and comfortable experience:

  • We gently numb the area to ensure you feel no discomfort.
  • Any damaged or decayed tooth material is carefully removed.
  • The composite resin is precisely applied and shaped to match your tooth.
  • A special light is used to harden the filling, creating a strong bond.
  • We finish by polishing the tooth for a smooth, natural result.
